RC bugs in debian-science packages
I discovered that axiom had an RC bug and this prompted me to check
which other science related packages had RC bugs. Looking at
http://bts.turmzimmer.net/details.php reveals the following science
packages (picked out by hand, so E&OE) that have release critical
bugs:

There are also RC bugs in matplotlib, texlive-fonts-extra and
texlive-latex-extra, but very recent uploads have been made which
appear to address the RC bug.
So, most packages are in good shape (or scientists don't like
reporting RC bugs).
